Beauty tip #4 - Threading

This is an actual traditional Indian beauty practice for removing body hair, and not one of my made-up beauty tips. It has several advantages over other methods of hair removal like waxing and tweezing in that it is 1) fast, 2) cheap, and 3) even more painful. Fun! No amount of Bonjela can ever prevent or relieve this particular burning stinging pain. And speaking of burning stinging pain, there's that other traditional Indian beauty tip, the madras curry. For.. slimming and cleansing..?

All about moi

'Blag' comes from the French word 'blageur' meaning 'to tell lies'. It suits petite moi very well since we all know that French is the international language of fashion! A beautiful phrase which just speaks directly to my heart is "elle dit n'importe quoi" which roughly translates as "she talks horse shit" but it just sounds so much better in French, doesn't it? They really have a way with language... I don’t have a big budget for clothes, a lot of time for shopping, or any actual experience in the fashion industry, and my sense of style is actually really lame. But! even I can see that most people have not found that essential link between their minds and their bodies through clothing and accessories, either. What I do have, though, is a love of fashion and the ability to talk absolute bollocks! So I’ll share my limited knowledge with you all, and the rest I’ll just make up.

Champagne

I drink it when I'm happy and when I'm sad.Sometimes I drink it when I'm alone.When I have company I consider it obligatory.I trifle with it if I'm not hungry and I drink it when I am.Otherwise I never touch it, unless I'm thirsty.
